Dead Things

Writing on the wall in the painting room of the art building.
And there are too many dead things in there.
About the photo: Although the actual taking of this photo isn’t the most intriguing thing (besides getting the composition set in a way to make it interesting, especially with the white edge to the right), the editing may provide a note of interest. It was shot in a file format called RAW, which doesn’t apply all the things like white balance, sharpness, saturation, hue, contrast and compression that is applied to every JPG image whether you like it or not. It allows for a lot more flexibility in editing the image afterwards. The downside is that each image ends up being 6-8mbs each. For this image, I used an editing technique called HDR or Tonemapping through a program called Photomatix (http://www.hdrsoft.com/), to bring out the shadows and tone down the highlights.
